That’s not much of a revelation, but it’s all Kiffin, who doesn’t discuss injuries, would give up.

If Redd is unable to play, backup Curtis McNeal showed last week that he’s capable.

He played perhaps the best game of his career, rushing for 163 yards in the 38-17 victory over the Sun Devils. The Register reports, though, that Redd was at practice on Thursday and said earlier this week that he’d be ready to play against UCLA.

McNeal started the first five games of the season.

Redd has rushed for 732 yards and nine touchdowns on 135 carries, and is averaging 5.4 yards a carry. He also has six receptions for 99 yards. McNeal has 497 rushing yards on 83 carries, and is averaging 6.0 yards a carry. He has also five catches for 86 yards.
